This paper develops a controller synthesis method for distributed LQG control problems under output-feedback. We consider a system consisting of three interconnected linear subsystems with a delayed information sharing structure. While the state-feedback case has previously been solved, the extension to output-feedback is nontrivial as the classical separation principle fails. To find the optim...

Solution to the linear quadratic control problem is given in the class of linear dynamic output-feedback full order controllers. Necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of such an optimal controller are stated in terms of linear matrix inequalities provided that initial conditions for controller states to be zero. It is shown that parameters of the optimal controller depend on an init...

In this paper a novel Optimal Type-2 Fuzzy Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller (OT2FPIDC) is designed for controlling the air supply pressure of Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system. The parameters of input and output membership functions, and PID controller coefficients are optimized simultaneously by random inertia weight Particle Swarm Optimization (RNW-PSO). Simul...

In this paper, we improve the idea of the near-optimal alignments. Though the near optimal alignments increase the possibility to find the correct alignment, too many of them may confuse the biologists. So we present the filter scheme for the near-optimal alignments. An easy method to trace the nearoptimal alignments and an algorithm to filter those alignments are proposed.1 The time complexity...

Many communication networks contain nodes which may misbehave, thus incurring a cost to the network operator. We consider the problem of how to manage the nodes when the operator receives a payoff for every moment a node stays within the network, but where each malicious node incurs a hidden cost. The operator only has some statistical information about each node’s type, and never observes the ...

Consider a triangulation of the xy plane, and a general surface z = f(x; y). The points of the triangle, when lifted to the surface, form a linear spline approximation to the surface. We are interested in the error between the surface and the linear approximant. In fact, we are interested in building triangulations in the plane such that the induced linear approximant is near-optimal with respe...

We show that a simple variant of a naive colouring procedure can be used to list colour the edges of a k-uniform linear hypergraph of maximum degree provided every vertex has a list of at least +c(log) 4 1? 1 k available colours (where c is a constant which depends on k). We can extend this to colour hypergraphs of maximum codegree o(() with + o(() colours. This improves earlier results of Kahn...

Friction is a nonlinear phenomenon which has destructive effects on performance of control systems. To obviate these effects, friction compensation is an effectual solution. In this paper, an adaptive technique is proposed in order to eliminate limit cycles as one of the undesired behaviors due to presence of friction in control systems which happen frequently. The proposed approach works for n...

In this paper the design of an optimal nonlinear H∞ controller for flexible joint robot (FJR) is presented. An approximate solution based on Taylor Series expansion is considered for the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaac (HJI) inequality. A two-degree-of-freedom controller combined of optimal nonlinear H∞ controller and inverse dynamics controller is proposed to tackle the regulation as well as tracking pr...
